Steve stands on the right side of the image on a grassy shoreline beside the ocean, facing the viewer with a relieved expression and holding a raw cod fish in one hand. The outdoor scene shows a cloudy daytime sky, calm sea water, and blocky green hills in the background. A text panel with a blue/purple pixelated border occupies the left side of the image, leaving the left area clear of action.

Steve has been in the sea and got himself some cod for lunch. Is the cod ready to eat, or is it unsafe until it is cooked?

Page 2
On the left side of the image, Steve stands looking down at a raw cod fish lying on the grass at his feet. He has a thoughtful, slightly disgusted expression, considering what to do with the fish. The scene is set outdoors on a bright, sunny day in a grassy Minecraft-style landscape, with the right side of the image left as open green background for text overlay.

The cod still needs to be cooked. Steve is unsure which way is best. How will he make his meal hot and tasty?

On the right side of the image, Steve stands beside a campfire built on the grass, with smoke billowing upward. He appears to be tending the fire with a determined expression, facing it at a three-quarter angle. A raw cod fish sits on the ground near the fire, ready to be cooked. The scene is set outdoors in a forested area with trees and green grass, during daytime with soft natural lighting. The left side of the image is clear background suitable for text overlay.

Steve makes a fire. He gathers logs, stacks them up, and the flames begin to expand as thick smoke curls into the sky. 'I did not make a mistake with this task,' Steve says proudly. He sets the cod beside the flames to preheat.

On the left side of the image, Steve is crouching low beside a campfire built on stacked logs, leaning in close but shielding his face with one arm, wincing from the intense heat. The fire is burning brightly with orange and white flames and wisps of smoke rising upward. A cod fish sits near the fire, partially cooking. The scene is set outdoors on a green grassy area with trees and foliage visible in the background under daylight. The right side of the image is open plain background for text placement.

Steve checks the fire to see if it is ready. The heat blasts at him, and he lifts his arm to shield his eyes. 'That is far too hot!' he says. He must retreat, but a true fire-maker steps back just a tiny bit.

On the right side of the image, Steve stands beside the campfire on a grassy area, leaning forward and placing the cod fish directly into the flames with both hands. He has a focused, careful expression. Smoke rises from the fire into the air. The scene is set outdoors during daytime against a rocky hillside or cave entrance in the background. The left side of the image is clear background for text overlay.

The flames calm down a little. Steve leans in and puts the cod inside the fire. 'Every side needs to touch the flames,' he explains, as if someone is watching. 'That way it cooks the same all over.' He rubs his hands. 'Trust me. I can do this.'

On the left side of the image, Steve is sitting on a grassy area beside a small campfire, reaching toward it to grab a cooked fish (cod) with a surprised, pained expression — the fish is clearly too hot to hold. The campfire burns brightly with orange flames next to him. The scene is set outdoors on a green grassy landscape with birch trees, a pond or river in the background, and a small hill where a white sheep grazes. The right side of the image is a plain orange-and-yellow bordered text area.

Steve grabs the cod right out of the fire. The fish is cooked, but he has to react fast. It is super hot!

Steve stands on the right side of the image on a grassy hill, facing the viewer with a neutral expression. He is holding a piece of raw chicken in his right hand. The scene is set outdoors during daytime in a Minecraft-style landscape with trees, a body of water, and a cloudy sky visible in the background. The left side of the image is clear background reserved for text overlay.

The next day, Steve has some chicken to cook. The fire worked so well before. Will he repeat what he did?

Page 8
On the left side of the image, Steve stands in a grassy clearing near the edge of a forest with tall trees and foliage in the background, holding a piece of raw chicken and looking around with a frustrated expression. A small wooden boat sits on the grass nearby. The area is notably sparse, with very few logs or wood resources visible. The right side of the image is occupied by a large olive/tan text overlay area.

It seems like there are not a lot of logs in this spot. You're right, Steve. I don't think you can restart a fire this time.

Page 9
On the right side of the image, Steve stands on a grassy hilltop, looking downward with a sad, dejected expression, his arms hanging at his sides. He still holds the raw chicken in one hand. The scene is set outdoors at sunset, with the sun low on the horizon casting a warm glow across the landscape and an overcast sky above. The left side is reserved for text with a dark panel and yellow border. The overall mood is lonely and subdued, matching Steve's hunger and low spirits.

Steve feels sad and hungry. He has not had a thing to eat all day. Will he return to Alex's house to see if she has some spare wood?

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Steve stands facing the viewer with a surprised, excited expression, holding a raw chicken in one hand. He is standing at the edge of a pool of lava that glows bright orange-yellow at his feet. The outdoor scene features a grassy hillside with blocky trees and a blue sky with clouds in the background. The right side of the image is a plain dark panel reserved for text.

Steve does not want to return all the way to Alex's house. He wants to eat now! Just then, he spots something that might improve his luck.

Page 11
On the right side of the image, Steve stands at the edge of a bright, glowing pool of lava, looking down at it with a curious expression. He holds a raw chicken skewered on a stick in one hand, appearing to consider whether to hold it over the molten lava. The scene is set outdoors in a blocky, Minecraft-style landscape with green grass, stone blocks, and scattered trees in the background. The left side of the image is a plain green area reserved for text overlay.

Ah ha! He has come across a pool of lava! It looks so hot that it could cook some chicken. Will he extend the stick and hold the chicken over the lava?

Page 12
On the left side of the image, Steve stands at the edge of a vast pool of lava, facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle with a shocked, dismayed expression and empty hands outstretched. A small burst of flame flickers on the lava's surface where the chicken was just thrown in. The scene is set outdoors in a bright, blocky Minecraft landscape with trees and blue sky in the background. The right side of the image is open background for text overlay.

Oh no… Steve just threw the chicken right in, much to his dismay. I think that is a bit too hot… It looks like you will need to find some new lunch, Steve.
